Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter

When we think about cute crafts for Easter, bunnies, and chicks spring to mind. These plastic spoon chicks are full of color and can and should be personalized!

Plastic Spoon Chicks for Easter

Easter is a holiday where people get together to celebrate family, religious beliefs, and togetherness. The holiday almost always is celebrated with a feast with many people around the table. So I’ve put together these cute easter placeholders that the kids will love and the adults will smile over.

I originally made these plastic spoon chicks for Craft Stores via DecoArt. They asked me to create a fun Easter project using Craftsmart paint. I actually am a big fan of Craftsmart paint and highly recommend it for kid’s crafts. It’s also great for adult projects too. It goes on nicely and there are quite a few colors to choose from.

To make this Easter chick craft, you can print off the full instructions below. If you like chick crafts, these jellybean chicks are also great as placeholders!

Craftsmart paint:

Instructions

Paint the front and back of each spoon with Butter Cream, Pink, Grape Taffy, Pool Blue, and Spearmint. When dry apply a second coat.

Use the handle end of the paintbrush to add polka dots with White paint to the handles of the spoons.

Paint the terra cotta pots white. When dry apply a second coat.

Paint the rim of each pot with Butter Cream, Pink, Grape Taffy, Pool Blue, and Spearmint.

Use the eraser end of a pencil to add polka dots to each pot to correspond with the color of the rim.

Paint beaks onto spoons with Orange.

Use the handle end of a paintbrush to add Black dots for eyes.

Cut floral foam into 1-inch cubes and use white craft glue to attach to the inside the bottom of each terra cotta pot.

Cut cardstock into strips about 3” x ¾” and write the names of each guest. To add the “hands” dip your finger into the paint and gently press to the left and right sides of each name card using the corresponding color for each spoon and pot.

Tie ribbon into bows and hot glue the bows to the “necks” of the spoons. Insert the end of each spoon into the floral foam.

Tuck tissue paper into the pots to cover the floral foam and the base of each spoon.

Amanda, these are the cutest EVER! I love Easter! I love the idea of family and friends gathering without all the gift giving etc. It is more a time of loving, sharing and making memories! ‘A reminder of “Things Beautiful”. Fresh grass and leaves, flowers, little birds and bunnies, and a time to begin anew! The Spoon Chick Placeholders are awesome and the colors are so Spring! They would make a wonderful gift for everyone to take home at the end of the day. Thank you for all the joy you share!

This is one of the cutest ideas for Easter decor I have ever seen. I don’t do many, if any, of the projects I see but I will most definitely give this one a try! I also hardly ever if at all comment on ideas or post but this one is just so darn cute. Thanks Amanda for all your great ideas.
